> Could you please describe the response you are looking for. I feel Parnate is working for me. This is not to say I don't get down in the dumps and feel depressed at times. It means I am not feeling a constant depression. I am in therapy too, and so part of my up and down feeling has to do with what is happening in therapy. Even so, I am not looking for a good feeling every day. So, this is why I am curious as to what sort of response you are looking for. Are you so depressed you can't function, or is it more like a low grade fever type thing or something else? I really am interested in knowing.

I am hoping for:
Less depressed feeling(s) / negative thoughts / hopelessness
Ability to leave house, go to stores, go back to work, start exercising again, have fun, enjoy recreational activities / hobbies, etc.
Lessening of very poor energy
Increase in motivation / a love for life / pleasure
Hope for getting better / the future / life
Lessening of anhedonia
Lessening of fear / antisocial behavior / isolatingThis may be asking for a lot, like a miracle drug/response, but anything is better than my current state which has been bad for years
Daytrana (Methylphenidate) produced a response on all of the above, although short lived, so hopefully it's possible for another medication to produce the same
